To all fw!) ont yit may confiera lie it known that we, Niets. Purina Flairi'nrsnN and Stimm' lasarnssuN lna'oaann, in anufaeturers, subjects of the Kingdom of Denmark, residing' at Norregzade 5, Aalborg.I in Ueninarlg have invented certain new and useful linprovenients in rliables; and we do hereby declare the following to be a full, elearv` and exact description of the invention, sueh as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to inale and use the saine,

rlhe present invention relates to tables* with one or inore extension plates placed either at the endswas a kind of drawer or in the middle of the table, whose top then is divided straight through.

franie until the extension plate is lying freely, after which said plate influenced by one or inore springs will raise itself flush with the table-top and the outer parts of the plate then may be swung` out to eaeh l side.

jin embodiment ofthe invention used in a table with extension plates at the ends is represented in the drawing.

Figure l shows a plan of the table-top l The end-pieces e of the table-frame forni eat-.h thefront-piece of a kind of drawer. in whieh an extension plate, Consisting` of a ventral part o, and two side-pieces 7i; hinged thereto. is so mounted that it is influenced b v one or more springs L tending' pre it upward. The end-piece o Ais connected to two slide bars o3, one at eaeh side in which one or inore vertical grooves /t are arranged-` eaeh groove 7i havingl at its top a horizontal lengthening groove t'. stop-lists g secured to the central plate o are inountedt said stop-lists actingl also as guidebloelrs for the plate o during` its up and down nioveinent,

"iilhen the end-piene o is drawn out. until the extension plate is elear of the table-top l. i the central plate a with its side-pieces i: l

folded over it pressed upward influenced by the springs (a until the stop-hsts gf strike the inner end of the grooves it, and the up- Said extension plates are so mounted, that it suf fires to draw out the end-pieces of the tablel-n the grooves /L per st irfaee of the Central plate o then will be lying;v flush with the upper surface ot' the table-top l. The side-pieees now are l swung; out .aeh at .its own side over the eorl responding slide har fl and the end-piece c l is pressed so inueh in against the tabletop Z, that the inner edge of the extension plate is bearing against the outer edge of the tablel top. ln so doingl the supports e of the sidel plenos 7.: will enter into the eorrespondiniI holes j, Fie'. 3. under the table-top, and the 1, stopdists y/ will he pressed into the horizontal grooves i, so that they supportthe part of the side piet-.os 7i: facing the central plate o.

lf lthe extension plate is to be forced back under the tabletop the end-piece e is drawn withdrawn frein the holes t. The sidepierces .7u are folded over the eentral plate o and the extension plate a whole is pressed a little against the table-top to bring` the stop-lists g out of the Grooves The exten-- sion plate now is pre d downward and si niultaneousl;7 the end-piene c is pressed in against the table-top Z, so that the extension plate is brought under 'the said table-top, whereafter the end-piece o is brought to its place under the table-top. Y

The grooves /71` may at*V the bottoni be provided with a eorrespi)udinehorizontal lengthening' as at their upper end. so that the stop-lists g ina'v be brought into said lenltgtliening; grooves thereby securing` the tension plate in its lower position.`

.lf the extension plate to be used as a leaf Ain a eounnon double slide-bar extension table it inonnted in a correspondingl inanuer but so that it is not inoved when the table is expanded, and the stop-lists (j Patch under 'the lower surface of the table top, when the leaf is raising', thereby stopping' the said leaf in elevated position. A Y i' Claims:

.1. jin extension table.I comprising in eoinbination with a top, slide bars operative be low said top and having; vertieal slide `o jrooves in their opposing' faces, a Central top sec-tion vertically slidable between said slide bars, stop and guide lists on said eenti'al top seetion slidable in said Vertical grooves. side pieces hinged on each side of said central top section, andv springs below said Central top section norinalljv pressing l the latter upwardly, said side bars also hava little outward. until the supports e are A ing longitudinal extension grooves at the upper and lower ends of said vertical slide grooves to receive said stop lists for locking said central top section in elevated and folded position.

An extension table, comprisingl in com bination with a top, slide bars operative below said top and having vertical slide grooves in their opposing faces, a transverse end piece connecting the free ends of said slide bars, central top section vertically slidable between said slide bars and inside ot said end piece7 stop and guide lists on said Central top section slidable in said vertical grooves7 side pieces hinged on each side of said central top section, and springs below said central top section nor1nall7 pressing the latter iqiwardly7 said side bars also having' longitudinal extension grooves at the upper and lower ends of said vertical slide grooves to receive said stop lists when said central top section is brought into elevated position and said end piece is slid into position to support said central top section. ln testimony whereof, we atlix our signatures in presence of two witnesses.
